To add to it. Arguello Blvd in San Francisco is named after Marty’s husbands family, her husbands name was Alex Arguello. Marty was also known by her friends and family as Martha Arguello. Also, Ortega Blvd(in the Avenues) in SF is named after Marty’s husbands great great grandmother. There might be another great in there! I read Linda Ronstadts bio once, hope I spelled her name right, and noticed that she had some of the same pioneering San Francisco relatives as did the Arguello family.

Also, the Arguello family owned thousands of acres in the Silicon Valley area which they donated to settlers and the railroads. Not surprising the railroads took most of that land!

And yes…Consolidated News was the first syndication arm for Bobby Sox and then when the strip was taken over by United Features in 1958 the strip went by the name Emmy Lou.

Ok…deep sigh of relief. We have a great young guy, Jordan an aspiring graphic designer, scanning and uploading Emmy Lou cartoons with us now starting Sept 1. Yah…it worked…he did it!!! Thanx Jordan!! Have a wonderful day.
